The Comper competitions continue in 2026, from the preparatory class to the 8th. These tests are not affected by the ministerial order that prohibits the organization of national competitions and school olympiads in primary education. Here’s when the 2026 stages are scheduled.
Comper Exam Calendar 2026
If the first stage of Comper took place last December, in 2026 the second stage and the national stage are scheduled. The competition, with free registration, is very popular in schools in Romania. In 2023 and 2024, for example, over 700,000 students from almost 9,000 schools were enrolled in tests, which can be taken in two subjects: Mathematics and Romanian Language. Stage I, of staged summative evaluation, took place after completion of modules 1 and 2 of the structure of the school year. Students who passed the tests in stage I were automatically enrolled in stage II as well.
